Switch User Manual

IGMP snooping 49
5500 Series switch filtering IP multicast streams (2 of 2)
The consolidated proxy report generated by the switch remains transparent
to Layer 3 of the International Standardization Organization, Open Systems
Interconnection (ISO/OSI) model. (The switch IP address and MAC address
are not part of proxy report generation.) The last reporting IGMP group
member in each VLAN represents all of the hosts in that VLAN and IGMP
group.
IGMP snooping configuration rules
The IGMP snooping feature operates according to specific configuration
rules. When configuring the switch for IGMP snooping, consider the
following rules that determine how the configuration reacts in any network
topology:
•
There is a maximum of 240 groups on the Nortel Ethernet Routing
Switch 5500 Series.
•
A port that is configured for port mirroring cannot be configured as
a static router port.
•
If a MultiLink Trunk member is configured as a static router port, all of
the MultiLink trunk members are configured as static router ports. Also,
if a static router port is removed, and it is a MultiLink Trunk member, all
MultiLink trunk members are removed as static router port members,
automatically.
•
Static router ports must be port members of at least one VLAN.
•
The IGMP snooping feature is not STP dependent.
•
The IGMP snooping feature is not Rate Limiting dependent.
